Hegel- Thesis- Anti Thesis- Synthesis. Base and superstructure. Mode of production and economic relations are the base. Society, law and state are the superstructure.

This book is a wonderful introduction to the philosophy of Dialectical Materialism, and also coincidentally wonderfully short. The negative aspect of the brevity, however, is that the argument for Dialectical Materialism seems lacking.
To me, a Marxist, albeit not a very philosophically proficient one, this book seems to state that Dialectical Materialism is a science because revolutions have happened before. I don't find that entirely convincing.
